SAINT PATRICK.

To-day the hearts of the sons Of the Emerald
Isle swell and their thoughts turn to the pa
iron saint who, l ,442 years ago, was translated
to his reward. 1t is the day of Saint Patrick's
death that is commemorated. and not that of
his birth; and this is appropriate, because the
coming of a man into the world amounts to
little 1t is the departure that awakens the
sense of appreciation of greatness and good
ness, that calls up the events Of a well-spent
life, and inspires the world to emulate the
virtues and treasure up the words of hero,
a teacher or saint.
st. Patrick's birth place is shrouded in
mystery Six localities have contested the
honor, but only two Boulogne in France, and
Fitzpatrick in Scotland, have had any real
claims hitherto Now comes the Very Rev.
Sylvester Malone, distinguished member of
the Royal Irish Academy, in an elaborate
paper in the Dublin Review, and proceeds to
demolish the claims of both in favor OF his
own theory that Bath, on the Avon, in Eng
land, is the real place. 1t will not please
the Ilishmen of to-day to know
that his patron saint was English
born, but the truth of history com
pels US to make the statement Father Malone
supports his claim with ingenuity showing
the deepest research and the most careful
sitting Of evidence, and it would be strange if
subsequent investigation should prove his
conclusions to be correct
The well-known adage that est. Patrick
was gentleman" is amply proven in his ICON
fession," and by the many lives that have been
written of him, four of which were by his
| nephews; for his father was his tutor, and he
was man of education and refined habits fol
| that seni-barborous time. The whole career
of the great Saint showed all the instincts Of
| gentleman. He event about doing good,
the surest indication to claim to that title
| While the date of the birth and birth place
of st. Patrick are not certainly known, the
time of his death and mis- burial place arr
matters of no doubt He died at plac,
called Saul, near Downpatrlck, in the County
Armagh, on March II, A. D., 465, and hi
remains lie in an unmarked grave in til,
church-yard Of the Cathedral Of Down. Pill
grims to the spot have carried away handful
of earth, until the grave is but hole in tn
ground, which the old sexton has hard worl
to keep rresentable.
To-day thousands of dollars will be spen
in parades and celebrations, and the Hiber
MAN heart will bound with Joy at the mention
Of the great apostle and his great deeds; bu
it would be we'll if Irishmen would remembe
that unmarked grave, and by some organize
effort contribute portion of the money spen
each year in the "Patricks day parades" t
erect a suitable memorial stone to the ma
who redeemed the Emerald Isle.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many 9th
er things which ought not to be, have
made the American people q nation of
dyspepti.s.
But Green's Augest Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy then meals and be happy.

John Mckay, George Farnham
and George Barney have been busy
putting up cabin at the Fargo
mine, on Sheep mountain. Farm
ham and Barney will work the prop
erty all winter. This is one of the
most promising properties on the
mountain, and we may expect to see
the boys open up something big be-
fore spring. It shows large body
of lead ore which runs high in sill
yer.
The Norman is showing up fine
body Of galena and copper ore,
which has improved considerable
since work has been started up.
The property is located alongside of
the Gothic road in Galena park
which makes it quite accessible,
and we believe it would become a
pay mine with q little more devel-
opment. G.. r. Read, one Of the
owners is hard at work running a
drift upon the vein, and is highly
pleased with the outlook. Major
Fitch has become interested in the
property, and they propose to see
what they have got.
The Silver Chief, which is owned
by Denver parties, is being worked
by Williams & Bait. The property
is located about three milen from
Crystal, in Chicago basin, and
shows up one OF tho best dehned
veins in granite that there is to be
